Depression Poems
#depression
Depression takes a person beyond feelings of sadness, to a very dark and lonely place. Poetry about depression offers the reader a glimpse into this darkness and isolation. Depression is a serious mental disorder. A creative outlet, like writing poetry, can offer relief to some sufferers.

Interesting Times
We live in interesting times when it comes to rhymes.
I can say what I want but never mind.
I went a little insane when I lost my love life,
But like I said…Interesting times.
You can never be bored when dancing with the Devil.
Being so close to natural born evil.
Free the people for the people.
Always on the level when talking of my steeple.
Never had an ego that you could quash.
Don’t love myself, or you, or God.
Raised on love, brainwashed into believing.
Now all I have is endless dreaming.
...

The Branch in My Dreams
Do not despair
These are only words
It would be unfair
To unburden this world
Feet high off the ground
Would only hurt them
Or maybe just her.
So I'll continue to dream
Such slivers of light
Won't warm nor beam
Into hopeless night
This rotten, unclean
Crackled, glass suit
Will remain Earthbound
Not the Fallen's recruit
Whilst it withers with time
Creaks under boot
And shivers of mine
Are frozen at last
For when they are gone
I will seek darkness then-
To...

Blindfolds Off
Countdown starts from three...
I kid you not. See?
A trigger-happy firing squad,
this is it for real. We’re caught.
Make way for the tears, because without spilling them for years there’s a lot.
Just stare into my eyes forcing me to do the same my love.
Let’s pretend death is progression so no amount of fear’ll be enough.
This situation is tough. I wish it’d be different but hell, it’s not.
There’s slim chance in heaven for us you know?
Sorry to spill the beans like that but what’d you expect? A three-eyed...

Perpetual Parting
God I miss you
Oh to see you again
Or breathe in your scent
Death be damned!
Bid me adieu, please
Yes, leave me to grieve
Ever more
Oh to see you again
Or breathe in your scent
Death be damned!
Bid me adieu, please
Yes, leave me to grieve
Ever more

Angels don't cry
Sorrow and anger,
Love and hate,
Sorrow and hate,
Love and sorrow.
Anger and hate,
Anger and loneliness,
Hate and loneliness,
Hopeless and loneliness.

Hate and loneliness,

Hopeless and loneliness,
Hopeless and sorrow,

First Farewell
Mommy is resting
where? I don't see her in bed
in heaven, with God
okay, when will she be back?
6 year old robbed of goodbye
where? I don't see her in bed
in heaven, with God
okay, when will she be back?
6 year old robbed of goodbye

Pain
I read the poetry of so many, so many that claim to know your name
They hum and sing stanza after stanza of how you've brought them shame
They whine and howl of the darkened cover accompanying the heartbreak
The ghostly presence that chases them about killing their fate
Tomorrows murdered before the sun even had time to die down
The Grim Reaper masquerading with the sad face of a clown
With no tears to be shed, they've gotta be drawn on to his face
You are but a word riding on the breath of the wind that they all claim to have taste
I look...
They hum and sing stanza after stanza of how you've brought them shame
They whine and howl of the darkened cover accompanying the heartbreak
The ghostly presence that chases them about killing their fate
Tomorrows murdered before the sun even had time to die down
The Grim Reaper masquerading with the sad face of a clown
With no tears to be shed, they've gotta be drawn on to his face
You are but a word riding on the breath of the wind that they all claim to have taste

Summa Victus
The past's future was so much brighter
Than the present's which is dimmer
The older I get the dreams unravel
Because I found out I'm not the winner
I'm a loser who never got the prize
I'm a loser who received all their lies
I'm a loser who is treated like a creep
I'm the loser no-one wants to keep
When I'm feeling down
I'm isolation bound
If I knew what the future would hold
After I grew up and gotten old
I would've thrown myself away
So I wouldn't have to face another day
I'm a loser who tried but only...

My mind is gone
Mind is going, going, gone...
Looked real hard but no one's home
Think I'll just sit and stare in space
Or find my mind in some other place
Doctor says I need some meds
Something is broken in my head
Gives me all these little pills
Specially made for the mentally ill
But I don't feel right feeling normal
Like a church service
That's a little too formal
My brain may be strange
But it is mine
So not being normal
Suits me just fine
Looked real hard but no one's home
Think I'll just sit and stare in space
Or find my mind in some other place
Doctor says I need some meds
Something is broken in my head
Gives me all these little pills
Specially made for the mentally ill
But I don't feel right feeling normal
Like a church service
That's a little too formal
My brain may be strange
But it is mine
So not being normal
Suits me just fine

Drowning In Thoughts
I feel like I’m drowning
In a world so hopeless
Like my mind is just plunging deep into the abyss
I feel my lungs fill with water
Making breathing impossible
As my mind spirals farther into the darkness
My body is fighting
But my mind has already given up
Accepting the fact that I can’t reach the surface
Knowing I’m going to drown
Right here
Alone
With nothing but my thoughts
In a world so hopeless
Like my mind is just plunging deep into the abyss
I feel my lungs fill with water
Making breathing impossible
As my mind spirals farther into the darkness
My body is fighting
But my mind has already given up
Accepting the fact that I can’t reach the surface
Knowing I’m going to drown
Right here
Alone
With nothing but my thoughts

Reignition
Two tongues flickering, hah, fucking pain beginning to sneak into me
Riding the blade of a suicide, reality disappearing, fucking hiding from me
The murk is my friend, the darkness comforts and it cloaks
While I'm freezing here within my frozen self, somehow I smell smoke
Hope is but a bitch, a whore, lights flashing off in the distance of my mind
Promises of things to reach for when all of the time they were left behind
The light can be just as disorienting as the darkness
Depending on it's intensity, it can cause so much more stress

Loud American
I wish I could tell everyone I meet
everything that makes me special
how I wish I could convey my deepest thoughts
show how smart I think I am
don't want any secrets
want to put all my cards down
show them off to everybody who doubted me
don't want to gloat
just want to show
I am more than appearance
guess I can't find the right words to say
like a rat trapped in ah cage
I scream and claw at my surroundings
I'm the loud American
oh how I have loved
